Guadalupe Sánchez

Principal                                                                                                                                       

My name is Guadalupe Sánchez. II am immensely lucky to have worked for 31 years in one of  my great passions;  education. For over ten years I have been head of SEK-Les Alpes, where we offer students an experiential learning experience (cultural, linguistic, personal development and commitment to sport) in Europe, in the heart of the French Alps.

I am also responsible for coordinating SEK institutional projects and am a member of the advisory council of the Camilo José Cela Foundation. Moreover, I teach on the master's degree in Management, Innovation and Leadership of schools at the UCJC.

 I am defined by my capacity for organization and planning, my constant desire to learn, and my ability to work in a team.
